[SOLVED] i5 9400f dual monitor problem

[oxifem]

hi guys, i have a i5-9400f and a nvidia geforce 1650 videocard, i wanna know if i can connect dual monitor because i tried a lot of things
(going to bios and activating igpu not finding the option bc i5-9400 does not have internal graphic card)
i found a tutorial on youtube that says i can connect it with a usb 3.0 to vga adapter
second monitor keeps saying no signal detected, i tried all the youtube tutorials, nothing works feels bad
i wait for your answers thx

You can connect 2 monitors to the GTX 1650.
Intel SKUs with the F at the end denote 'no iGPU', so that wouldn't work.

While the F SKUs have been more affordable than the others, it's a little inconvenient not having the iGPU.

Where are you trying to connect the monitors, with what connectors? When you have a GPU that typically requires all monitors to run off it's outputs

main monitor is on the hdmi port and it's working fine and second monitor on vga port and not working, no signal, windows can't detect it

yeah but 2nd monitor not showing, 1 is conected on the hdmi port and 2nd on the vga port,
so, this means without bios settings i can't connect them?

Where is this VGA located - if it's not on the card it won't work here. The second monitor also has to be connected to some output from the card.

@oxifem
I'm skeptical about using adapters to being with - they can work, or not work at all.

Wait... are you saying the 1650 has a VGA port?

ummm i don't think so, it have only one hdmi, and the vga and dvi are on the top of the pc

 

[oxifem]

one more question, if i buy one of theese it's gonna work ?this

 

[rgd1101]

what port is on the 1650? get a active adapter for vga

If the second monitor only supports VGA (sounds like an old monitor then) try an adapter from Displayport or HDMI (whatever is free on the card)

yes, it's an old monitor, it suports vga and dvi, and on the videocard i have only a hdmi port so, i guess it's rip

here is a photo with videocard ports and other ports from the pc photo.

Ok. For a moment there, I thought you had a fake gpu... moving on!

It does you no good to plug any display adapter into the motherboard - you bought a cpu with no iGPU.
You have to plug both monitors into the gpu.
That's the Gigabyte 1650 Mini ITX. It has 2 HDMI and 1 Displayport. You have to use those.
